Stubborness

So the other day I thought I should blog about this one movie I saw awhile back called Defiance, and so I shall...

Okay so here's the scoop, the movie is about a group of jews that have to hide and survive in the woods while the holocaust is taking place. Daniel Craig stars, and is supported by a great unknown cast of all kinds of people. When I first started the movie I had my doubts about, but then again, I really didn't know anything about it. I very quickly realized how wrong I was to doubt, as it is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It's Top Ten material actually, maybe like 9 though. But never the less, a great survival tale, and I would also like to say that I love survival tales. Any Pocahontas type thing, or even that first part of Ironman in Afghanistan.

This one is a little different though, the jews are forced to get food somehow, obviously! So they raid Nazi food transports, and (do their best to) try not to kill anyone in the process. After all, murdering for food would be the same thing as murdering for anything else in their God's eyes.

It's very interesting to watch as the jews constantly have to set up camp, and then leave so the Nazis can't catch them, and while it is somewhat of a depressing tale, a couple lines of comedy are thrown in in great places so you while get exhausted by the constant running and hiding. There are peaceful moments in the movie to help you catch your breath, and it also gives the film a chance to show you how jews operated during that time of horror, and how sometimes spirits were down, but it only took one person to them right back up.

Lastly I would like to point out that it's BOND for crying out loud! See this movie if you haven't, see this movie again if you have and get something new out of it. Just please see the film, it really is phenomenal.
